Walter Kollmorgen, formerly as sistant in the Department of Geo graphy and at present in the Con KPrvntion and Survey division, is the author of an article in the Scientific Monthly entitled, 'Rain makers on the Plains." The article reviews some of the popular misconceptions concerning rainfall during the pioneer days. The alleged increase in rainfall was greatly publicized by western rail roads and real estate interests. Settlers arrived in unprecedented numbers and confidently began farming on the semi-arid plains with methods common to the more humid sections of the country. Naturally, a surprise defeat was in store for these frontier people. Rainfall did not increase but merely fluctuated within rather broad limits. Non-scientific literature on the proposed shelter bill shows that the misconception about increas ing rainfall on the plains is not a thing of the past Many people justify the project on the assumed fact that it will increase precipita tion. No scientific data can be in voked to substantiate this belief.

NDAR S CHARIER DAY HAS ARTICLE EARLY REPORTS SI Registration for Semester Exceeds Last Year's Figure by 611. 5,400 TOTAL HOPED FOR Graduate, Medical College Results Expected to Swell Returns. Although registration for the current semester is still incom plete, university officials indicated Wednesday morning that there are now 611 more students registered in the university than on the same date last year, when there was a total enrollment of 4,975 students. At the close of Tuesday, there were 4,517 students registered as compared with the 3,906 of a year ago. Registration will probably be in creased by some 400 graduate stu dents who have until Feb. 16 to complete their registration. In ad dition to those students who have already completed their registra tion, there will also be added some 330 medical college students and 00 to 100 students in the school of nursing, as well as a considerable number of stragglers, who must pay a $3.00 fee for late registra tion. It is hoped that when registra tion is complete, a total of 5,400 will be reached. The current fig ures show but little decrease from the first semester. A slight de crease is normally expected due to midyear graduation, student schol arship, and student finances. Due to the fact that the date of registration closing is much later in the graduate college and at the medical and nursing schools in Omaha, complete figures will not be available for some time, it was revealed by the registrar's office.
